The article discusses elevating chili through flavor enhancements and perfect wine pairings. Wine educator Lexi Stephens recommends bold reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah for complementing the strong flavors of chili, especially those containing beef. These wines' rich profiles balance out the dish's ingredients. Cabernet offers herbal notes while Syrah is fruit-forward with hints of spices. The article also suggests deglazing the chili pot with red wine for an extra layer of flavor and provides affordable wine options for hosting chili dinners.
I would recommend a bold red like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah for a mild classic red chili. These wines are bold enough to stand up to the bold flavors of the chili.
Syrah tends to embody stronger fruit flavors, such as blackberries, with hints of spice. And while a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon is also fruit-forward, you might taste more herbal notes.
